Please see the enclosed file .There is a equipment in each red cirle ,their Tag No. are "T04A" and "T04B" .I want to add two different records into the project database respectively for them,but on the drawing,I want to place only one Tag to describe them such as "T04A/B".How to complete this?

I think you're going to have to make it unitelligent. There is no way that I know of to have one tag appear two different ways as the tag number is being written to the TAG_REG.TAG_NO field.

You can achieve that by using an 'embedded function'. that is a lisp routine that is linked to an attribute. The attribute will display the result of the routine. The routine would run like
check if last character of current tag = A
if yes, look if there is an equal tag with last character B
if yes, the display tag A/B
if no , display the tag itself
if no, display the tag itself

it would also need something to output a blank if last char is b and equal tag with A exists

I can give more info on this if you like
